Overview

Dial-a-Molecule is a Grand Challenge Network funded by the EPSRC between 2010 and 2015 and 2016 and 2019 to promote research aimed at a step change in our ability to deliver molecules quick and efficiently.

The aim of Dial-a-Molecule Grand Challenge Network is to make the synthesis of any desired molecule as easy as dialling a number – removing synthesis as a constraint

Given the wide span of the Grand Challenge, the impact of any achievement towards Dial-a-Molecule will reach far beyond academia. Not only will advances affect industry and economy but addressing the Grand Challenge will be of benefit to society as a whole and will aid Government to maintain its role in the world economy.
